07-SEPTEMBER-2008 03:17:44 - Superfood Superfood is a term sometimes used to describe food with high phytonutrient content that some may believe confers health benefits as a result. For example, blueberries are often considered a superfood or superfruit because they contain significant amounts of antioxidants, anthocyanins, vitamin C, manganese and dietary fibre 1. However, the term is not in common currency amongst dieticians and nutritional scientists, many of whom dispute the claims made that consuming particular foodstuffs can have a health benefit2 There is no legal definition of the term and it has been alleged that this has led to it being over-used as a marketing tool.3 The OED4 includes citations for superfood in the general sense of a food considered especially nutritious or otherwise beneficial to health and well-being dating from 19155 and 19496, as well as more recent examples7. Contents 1 Legal status in the EU 2 List of foods that have been described as superfoods 3 See also 4 References Legal status in the EU As of 1st July 2007, the marketing of products as superfoods is banned unless accompanied by a specific medical claim supported by credible scientific research.8 Companies will have two years to adjust their marketing in line with these rules.
